Just in case someone is keen
Me and a few mates are going to circumnavigate karratha off road on the weekend - its not hardcore but should be good fun
Let me know if you want in
The plan is:
Meet up in the prestigious Nichol West subdivision,
Traverse the drains and head out to the Carr Civil quarry,
Head south along the 7 mile creek, under the bridge and around Gap Ridge,
Find a track and head east,
The first major hazard, Crossing Madigan Rd,
Keep heading east along tracks as we find them between the hills and north west coastal hwy.
There are some rocky climbs through here that you can tackle, or drive around, it depends on how adventurous you are,
Second major hazard, crossing Karratha rd,
Cut around the south side of the industrial estate
Get onto the SEC track for a few hundred meters then head north
Follow the fence line through to the Nichol river tidal flats.
Poke around here for a bit, maybe head up to the river mouth
Then head back west along back beach, past the boat ramp
Head up the dune (there is a drive around if its too soft)
Drive along the beach area around the back of the golf course and searipple camp,
Keep heading west along the tracks finding a way around Pegs Creek,
Follow the tracks back to Carr Civil quarry and home from there.
I reckon that 3 hours should cover it, and then some time cleaning the car.
Planning to start at 1pm
*** WARNING *** Please familarise yourself with the PP trip disclaimer before agreeing to attend.
Note, this is not a hard core mission, standard 4x4 will be fine. I will be trying to get our car stuck so that I can use the winch (which has never been used) to test it out and learn a bit about it before I need to rely on it.
Cheers,
Will
